Is it a bit warmer?

I think, in general, Adam Serwer’s thesis (“The Cruelty is the Point”) is correct. I don’t think that people acted in error or with poor information. I don’t think there is some set of information that’s going to change minds here. I think the Overton Window has to move back.

So you’d like us to assume that people that are acting in bad faith are actually acting in good faith for the purpose of argument?

As a “freed” journalist, I presume you are “freed” from having to read things before having very strong public opinions about them?

I have found ChatGPT deep research to be excellent! Not perfect but better than the average college grad I’ve asked to do similar research…

Also, “fantastic at reviewing legal contracts” is (a) not true and (b) some dangerous shit to recommend.

You might find Branch’s culture interesting—we have a tremendous number of cultural artifacts and have some pretty rigid processes, but not as much top-down structure as you describe at Honeycomb. Maybe an alternate way of doing remote?

It is sad to see the lower courts writing beautiful, poetic defenses of our Constitution and rule of law and the Supreme Court writing the equivalent of Bazooka Joe wrappers supporting their destruction.

/12 It treats as inherently pro-speech the mechanisms available to the famous and powerful (like telling the Guardian that protestors are pro-terrorist) and treats as inherently anti-speech the mechanisms available to people like students.

/2 Anyway next time you see eight thugs in masks leap out of an unmarked van to grab a college junior because she wrote an op-ed, be sure to give due consideration to their need for safe spaces

If universities don't want to hear actual thoughts from a graduating student, they don't have to have valedictory addresses.
But "we want to hear you say that racism, poverty, climate change, & war are bad, but not that one particular war is bad" is dumb, and withholding a diploma for it, wrong. 3/

I didn't used to favor extralegally rendering permanent U.S. residents to foreign gulag. But then I got a mass email from my graduate school.

It’s amazing how many credulous idiots write long form pieces revealing exactly how they are credulous idiots.

Honestly reminds me a bit of the Thomas dissent in US v. Lopez where all the other opinions were debating the commerce clause and Thomas just had to make it about guns because guns.

Agreed but also this one sounds like he wasn’t actually the worse person in the situation

Elizabeth Wurtzel was in my small group at Yale Law. That’s not necessarily unlike how I remember her…

/3 The student in question was clearly terrified. But he did it anyway.
“Bran thought about it. 'Can a man still be brave if he's afraid?'
'That is the only time a man can be brave,' his father told him.”

/2 The proposition that American government and institutions should unite to use official power to punish and suppress criticism of Israel is unacceptable. It should be fought by law, by defiance, and eventually if necessary by force. Free people cannot be prevented from speaking about wrong.

What the article you provide *doesn’t* say explicitly, and should say, is that storing cooked rice in a fridge, even if above 40F, will slow bacterial growth vs room temp, and keeps the rice safe for days.

The article you suggest says what is recommended by NPR (cook and immediately put in the fridge) is fine (what it objects to is leaving at room temp for hours), and it’s basically what everyone fried rice recipe says to do. I’ve been doing this for decades without ever getting sick as well…

Whatever you can write in one paragraph is highly unlikely to be giving away anything of significant value.
